Hey All,

I wanted to post this on my blog as well as the success forum.  I'm not sure how many of you get a chance to visit the forums -

When you see folks posting in the success forum, it is not by accident.  Sales are not made by accident - period.

I am not posting this as a bragging page, rather as an inspiration to those who may be struggling.  If you are like me, you enjoy reading success stories but a part of you gets PISSED OFF because it isn't you!  Am I right?

Well what I do is use that as my motivation to get my butt back to work!  Yes, we can all sit back and sulk in our failures (Lord knows, I have had PLENTY of them!), or you flip that as a motivator to do better. 

I've been with WA since October of 2009.  I'm pretty good about keeping my blog updated, so for those of you that have read it, know that I struggle...I struggle A LOT!  It sucks when you work and work and work, yet NOTHING!  You know what though, every time I saw goose eggs on my CB account, it was time to get back to work - end of story.  I can sit there wondering what the HECK I am doing wrong which is ok I guess, but it takes time away from actually doing ! 

When I sit back (which I haven't really done until this morning) and think of EVERYTHING that I have accomplished since being with WA, I have absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed of.  I have build websites, wrote articles, created lenses, have a 70 person list, and made a TON of friends here.  Sure the money's been slow, but I know HOW TO DO THIS NOW!

When I came here, the only thing that I really knew about IM was how to spend a BUTT LOAD of money with PPC with poor results.  So in essence, I knew nothing of IM.  What a difference three months makes.

While I am happy thus far, there are so many things that I haven't accomplished yet -

- $100 day
- Two sales in one day

These are two relatively small goals, but goals nonetheless.  I could have quit after the six weeks I went without a sale (and that was AFTER I made seven sales), but why would I do that?  Why invest so much of my time and effort just to quit?  I will have two sales in a day here soon.  That will lead to my $100 day.  Then it's on to the next milestone.

I guess what I'm getting at is that while I have made some sales, I want more.  I am excited that things are coming together, but I am never satisfied.  I want...I mean I NEED consistent sales and that is what I'll get.

Folks, success doesn't happen by accident.  I didn't wake up one day and "accidentally" have sales.  This takes work and a HECK of a lot of perseverance. 

There are not too many people (either in the traditional business world or Internet Marketing) that just woke up one day and was successful.  Guess what, I'm no different.

- One day at a time
- One article at a time
- One lens at time
- One dollar at a time

Use this screen shot as YOUR motivator. 

Here's a fun game (well maybe) -

If you feel inclined to leave a response to this post, I want you to do something first.  DO SOMETHING before you post your response.  Write an article, update a blog, find a keyword.  Do something BEFORE you post anything here.

While I would certainly appreciate a post, I would much rather that you start succeeding as well.  So post whatever you'd like, but tell me what you did BEFORE you posted here...

- Wrote an article
- Found a keyword
- Read a tutorial
- Created a Squidoo Lens

Of course I will never know whether you actually do anything or not, but you will know.  Don't cheat yourself!!

Let's make this not just my success, but ALL OF OUR SUCCESSES! 

Anyone that knows me here, knows that I work my tail off.  Take this and run with it.

No one else is going to hand you your success.

Make it happen.
